Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetables

Teriyaki Chicken and VegetablesBy realhousemoms.com

The homemade sweet and savory teriyaki sauce makes this recipe special. It’s made with ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, but the flavor is so much better than what you’d buy at the store, and there are no preservatives either! Best of all, the sauce only takes 5 minutes to make, and you can even make it up to a week in advance and store it in the fridge for later use.

Place the soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger, honey, brown sugar and sesame oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn up the heat to high and bring to a boil.

Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and boil for 1-2 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Set sauce aside.

Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and red peppers and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables have started to brown and soften. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook, until water has evaporated. When your vegetables are crisp & tender, remove them from the pan and set aside; cover to keep warm.
